Hi! My name is Grace and I work in interior design and live in San Francisco. I have been babysitting since I was 14 and have primarily watched children ages 1-9. I spent one year as a live in au pair in Italy and enjoy childcare, pet care and general household assistant roles. I love bonding with children, playing, running errands and cooking and am excited to be around any and all pets. I always maintain a tidy home and am happy to help out with household chores. My availability is generally limited to evenings and weekends. Ask me anything:)
“Absolutely recommend Grace to anyone looking for a kind, professional, and fun sitter. She cared for my 2 month and 5 year old for an all day affair, and the older one cannot wait for Grace to come over again. 10/10! ”
Joanne — Experienced Infant & Toddler Caregiver | CPR/First Aid Certified | Trustline Registered About Me Hello! My name is Joanne, and I specialize in caring for infants and toddlers in their most important early years. Families describe me as nurturing, dependable, and deeply committed to helping little ones grow and thrive. I’ve cared for children from newborn through preschool age, supporting parents through transitions like returning to work, introducing solids, and establishing healthy sleep routines. Experience & Approach I’ve worked with San Francisco families in a variety of roles — part-time, as-needed, combined with light housework and cooking. My approach is gentle and consistent: I create a calm, loving environment where babies feel secure and parents feel at ease. I’m known for my punctuality, empathy, and communication; I keep detailed notes and send updates or photos so parents always feel connected. What I Offer -Specialized infant and toddler care (newborn to preschool age) -Feeding, bottle prep, and transition to solids -Nap and bedtime routines / safe sleep practices -Engaging play, walks, and baby or toddler classes Certifications & Safety -American Red Cross Pediatric CPR/First Aid/AED Certified -TrustLine Registered (CA State Background Check) -Trained in Safe Sleep and SIDS Awareness Why Families Love Working With Me I’ve been called a “third parent” and “trusted auntie” because I bring both professional care and heartfelt warmth to every home. I believe every child deserves not just supervision but genuine connection, encouragement, and joy. If you’re looking for a reliable, experienced caregiver who will treat your baby as family and provide the peace of mind every parent deserves, I’d love to meet you and learn more about your family’s needs. — Joanne
I'm a college neuroscience student starting summer break hoping to catch some babysitting/nanny jobs outside of my research internship hours. I have four years of babysitting experience with up to six children at a time and a variety of ages from infant to elementary school. I am a neuroscience TA so I know how to teach and help with homework, and I volunteer with kids at California Academy of Sciences. I am CPR/BLS and first aid certified! Let's connect :)
Hi! I’m 27 and have been babysitting for as long as I can remember. I have experience with kids of all ages and am comfortable caring for everyone from little ones to older kids. I work full-time during the day, so I’m typically available for evening babysitting from around 5–11pm. I’m happy to help with dinner, playtime, bedtime routines, or just keeping everyone entertained while you enjoy a night out! In my free time, I love reading, making art, and staying active and playing sports, and I’m always happy to incorporate those interests into activities with the kids I babysit. I’m responsible, dependable, and love creating a fun, comfortable environment for kids while making sure parents can relax knowing they’re in good hands.

"We were incredibly grateful that Maya was able to help us out with a last-minute childcare emergency. She matched our 9-year-old's energy with arts & crafts, some quiet reading, and a walk around the neighborhood. We'd have Maya back in a heartbeat!"
Hillary S., parent
"We used Tania for a last minute emergency. She responded very quickly. My daughter seemed to enjoy herself. My son napped most of the time. I enjoyed how she kept me updated by text."
